They closed up the crofthouse and took the rough track over the hil to the vil age. They talked of the past and the future, and laughed together as they had before.
Then they stopped by the side of the Gair waterfal and he drew her down in the heather and she went, and they wrapped their arms round each
other, and made love slowly, knowing now they would have a lifetime of being together like this.
They married three weeks later. Riona would have settled for a quiet Register Office wedding, but Cameron, who didn’t care much for what people
might say, insisted on a service in the vil age church. She wore a bridal suit of bright pink and Cameron wore a kilt that made him the most handsome Scot there. His father flew over to be best man, and the doctor gave her away. The church was packed with tenants and estate workers, happy to see the ‘laird’
marry one of their own. If the wedding was later than it should have been—for wasn’t the father of Riona’s baby now obvious?—then the gossip said that at least he was doing right by her final y.
Riona didn’t care. She walked up the aisle with eyes only for Cameron and a heart singing with joy. He turned at the altar and the look on his face told her al she needed to know.
Their love wasn’t dream, but reality. It wasn’t gentle breezes, but a brisk wind. Not warm and safe and kind, but fierce and wild and...
Al the sweeter for it.
